School staff will be available on results day if you have any questions regarding your exam results.

POST RESULTS INFORMATION FOR CANDIDATES
Results Enquiries (Review of Marking): The exam board deadline for enquiries about results is Thursday 26th September. In cases of results enquiries from students, where the school does not uphold a request for such an enquiry, the student will normally be asked to pay to have an enquiry carried out. It must be remembered that the outcome of any remark may result in marks going down as well as up.
The school must have candidates’ written consent for a remark application to be processed. Please make sure you sign to give your permission and provide your mobile number before you leave.
Access to Scripts: If you would like to give permission for the school to have access to your scripts please sign and return the access to scripts form on results day.
Access Arrangements If you qualified for access arrangements for your GCSE exams such as 25% Extra Time/Scribe/Reader you will find enclosed evidence of this arrangement with your results information on results day. You may need to pass this information onto your college for your examinations with that centre.
Certification: Certificates are issued by the exam board if you achieve grade 9-1 at GCSE, or a pass or higher in level 2 qualifications. Certificates are printed by the exam board in October and will be distributed to students at the presentation evening in November. It is important that you look after your certificates and keep them in a safe place as future colleges and employers will need to see them.
All post result queries and questions please send to exams@newmillsschool.co.uk
CERTIFICATES
Certificates are issued by the exam board if you achieve grade A* to G or 9-1 at GCSE, or a pass or higher in level 2 qualifications.
Certificates are printed by the exam board in October and will be distributed to candidates at the Presentation Evening in November/December. Invitations for Presentation Evening will be sent to students and their parents/carers with full details of the Presentation Evening Event nearer the time.
Students who are unable to attend Presentation Evening will be able to collect their certificates from the school office or request for them to be posted by secure means after Presentation Evening has taken place.
Certificates will not be given to anyone other than the candidate without the candidate’s written authorisation.
It is important that you look after your certificates and keep them in a safe place as future colleges and employers will need to see them.
New Mills School is only obliged to keep certificates for a period of one year after issue. If candidates do not collect their certificates within this time (or if they lose their certificates) they can only be replaced by direct application to the appropriate examination boards. This will require proof of identity (such as a birth certificate) and payment of a fee per examination board. You are therefore urged to collect your certificates on Presentation Evening or as soon as possible thereafter and to keep them safe.
